I know we Brits are constantly bemoaning the fact that we pay in £ what the US pays in $ but on what planet does that pricing even remotely make sense!?!?!

The only paint details that were removed were the unnecessary ones that Hasbro added to their first release, which detracted from the show-accuracy of the figure and leaned more towards toy-accuracy. Otherwise, the toy is still about 97% identical to the previous release since the missing paint were just that minor and he now has some chrome toes where the first Hasbro release did not.GuyIncognito wrote:I'm a bit disappointed to see they removed some paint apps, but maybe that's why it's a relatively-affordable $60. Does Reprolabels have a set for this figure?

Yep. It's basically the Takara version deco with the Hasbro version accessories.GuyIncognito wrote:Thanks, Sabreblade. I can see what you mean. Those red stripes on the arms are actually pretty bad looking, and the others don't add much.
Does the new one come with the crown?
